141: Chapter 138: The Cunning Ancient Demon 141: Chapter 138: The Cunning Ancient Demon Kunpeng hadn’t expected to be caught by Sun Wukong exploiting a loophole in his statement, and Chi You reacted immediately, staring at him.

His expression slightly changed, and he hurriedly said, “Chi You, don’t listen to his nonsense.

That’s not what I meant; it was just a slip of the tongue.

Don’t let him stir you up.

We are in this together.”

Chi You said indifferently, “Who is with you?

I, along with these dozen Demon Clan members, have agreed to assist you this once only because we appreciate your saving us.

We are not with you otherwise.”

“Indeed, Kunpeng, we are only doing this to repay a favor, not to align with you.”

“Kunpeng, after this action, we are even.”

…

The several ancient demons all said the same thing.

They knew well that Kunpeng had offended too many people; now having also angered The Three Pure Ones and the Queen Mother of the West, anyone associating with Kunpeng was fated for misfortune.

By clarifying now to involve themselves only once, they would avoid further entanglements.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they’d end up dead.

Kunpeng’s face darkened; he really wanted to curse out loud.

These ancient demons, every one of them, noticed something was off and immediately changed their tone of discourse.

But, indeed, that had been their original agreement.

Kunpeng wanted to rebuke them but couldn’t; he could only listen to them speaking.

In the end, he couldn’t help it and said with a cold laugh, “So be it, I now demand you all to join forces and kill Sun Wukong.

Make your move.”

He no longer expected Chi You to act alone; he wanted all the ancient demons to take action together.

However, Ying Zhao said indifferently, “To gang up on the few is not what the strong should do.

I cannot accept this.”

Chi You sneered, “Kunpeng, what do you take us for?

Scoundrels?

Expecting me to join in attacking a junior?

Are you insane?”

Qiong Qi said indifferently, “Kunpeng, I have already assisted you once; this is the second time.

You should be satisfied.”

Regardless of what they said, they simply did not want to act.

Kunpeng’s face turned utterly dark; he glared at them venomously.

He regretted the considerable effort he had spent to rescue them, only to realize he had rescued a bunch of ingrates.

At the critical moment, none of them were of any use.

Watching this scene, the Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms found it somewhat amusing.

Is this what the ancient demons are like?

How disappointing.

Sun Wukong also felt like laughing.

He said in a strange voice, “Kunpeng, if you look down on others, naturally, they won’t help you.

Killing me is actually quite simple; just take action yourself, I might not be your match.”

He wanted Kunpeng to act himself.

But Kunpeng just gave Sun Wukong a deep look and turned to flee swiftly.

In his heart, he vowed never again to do the foolish deed of rescuing those ancient demons; if he did, he would be a complete fool.

These ancient demons, each lacking loyalty more than the next, no wonder they had been sealed for so many years without anyone rescuing them.

Mainly, it was because their consciences were deeply flawed.

“Leaving just like that?”

Sun Wukong was astonished.

He thought that even if Kunpeng did not take action, he would at least leave a few harsh words, but Kunpeng had just left directly.

The Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms looked at each other in disbelief; they also were taken aback.

Kunpeng left just like that, without any reluctance.

They vaguely understood why Kunpeng had lived so long.

Being so cautious, and with such formidable power, he was hard to kill.

The other demons also left.

Only Chi You stood there, his gaze falling on the Yellow Emperor as he coldly huffed, “Yellow Emperor, we will eventually battle, and I will defeat you and behead you.”

“Chi You, don’t be too arrogant.

Dare you fight with me?”

Nu Ba stepped forward, her presence fierce, glaring menacingly at Chi You, actually preparing to engage him in combat.

The Yellow Emperor’s complexion slightly changed, and he rebuked, “Stop this nonsense and sit down.”

Though Nu Ba was somewhat reluctant, she still sat down.

Chi You sized up Nu Ba and exclaimed, “Yellow Emperor, your daughter is indeed remarkable.

It’s been thousands of years since I last saw her, and she has already reached the Heavenly Venerate Realm, but why does she have a hint of aura similar to that monkey’s?

Could there possibly be some relation between them?”

As soon as Chi You’s words fell, everyone’s Divine Thoughts converged on Nu Ba.

All faces showed strange expressions.

There indeed was a hint of Sun Wukong’s aura on Nu Ba, although it was very faint, almost imperceptible without careful attention.

It was only after Chi You’s reminder that they noticed this detail.

Could there be some relation between Nu Ba and Sun Wukong?

The Bodhisattva Guanyin turned her head aside, unable to help frowning.

Had Sun Wukong rejected Lady Dragon of Wealth, possibly because of Nu Ba?

The Yellow Emperor and Nu Ba became somewhat panicked.

If people were to know that Nu Ba and Sun Wukong had once been husband and wife in their mortal forms, although it was just bodies formed by mana, it would still stir up quite a bit of gossip.

This was definitely not what they wanted to see.

The Immortals and Buddhas of the Three Realms are the most idle, people think they are quiet and inactive, but when it comes to spreading gossip, they are quite formidable, even more enthusiastic than mortals.

The corner of Elder Lord’s mouth subtly lifted in an almost imperceptible smile.

Tianpeng also appeared to smile but not smile, no one knew better than these two disciples the whole matter.

Neither disciple spoke, waiting to see how Sun Wukong would handle this issue.

Sun Wukong’s expression darkened, and he lashed out with his staff.

Chi You did not expect Sun Wukong to strike directly.

By the time he reacted, the staff was already smashing toward him.

However, being a battle-hardened Demon God, he reacted immediately.

A giant axe appeared in his hand, which he swung fiercely, blocking Sun Wukong’s strike.

Bang!

A loud noise erupted as powerful mana fluctuations exploded between them.

Sun Wukong charged forward.

He wielded the Jingu Bang, continuously hammering it down.

Chi You desperately defended, but he was still forced to continuously retreat.

Although Chi You was called a Demon God, his real strength was only that of a Heavenly Venerate.

It was just that he had gone quite far within the Heavenly Venerate Realm, and a Heavenly Venerate who had just broken through couldn’t possibly be his opponent.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong had just stepped into the Heavenly Venerate Realm, but his combat power was not comparable to that of an ordinary Heavenly Venerate.

His daring to challenge Kunpeng showed just how formidable Sun Wukong was.

The Jingu Bang and the war axe continuously collided, both of them unleashing their True Fire.

Both were battle-hardened, their martial arts superb, even without using spells, they possessed tremendous might.

As Sun Wukong swung the Jingu Bang, he coldly said, “Even Old Sun’s jokes you dare to make light of; you blind fool.

I don’t care what kind of Demon God you are.

If Old Sun doesn’t smash your head today, I am no man.”

Chi You was furious, “You are already not a man, for heaven’s sake.”

He, too, was enraged, his mana surging all over his body, fighting Sun Wukong to a standstill.
